Posted by Jose Lambiet , August 21, 2012 Print

Olympic hunk Ryan Lochte wants $750,000 to star on the next season of ABC’s reality hit The Bachelor!

The 11-time Olympic medalist, who’s from the Daytona Beach area, has been jet-setting all over the world to model, endorse, act, even star in his own reality show since the flame London 2012 was extinguished.

And while the 28-year-old is basking in his fame, and partying his way west with stops in New York, Las Vegas and Los Angeles, Lochte is said to be mulling over the opportunity.

Word is ABC could sweeten the pot some, to 1 million bucks!

Lochte, meanwhile, could be the show’s most unlikely star ever! The popular reality TV program features 25 women vying for the heart, and wallet, of one of the country’s most eligible bachelors.

Ike Lochte, Ryan’s mom, made news in London when she told tabloid reporters that Ryan’s training schedule prevented committed relationships. She described his romantic life as a long series of one-night stands.
